Joe Ferguson forever

it's who you are. own it. btw, I' d argue that your most recent answer to tibs was a red herring fallacy. We could make the entire forum into a logical exercise. wouldn't that be fun!

so Thank you for checking in. If he had won we would not have been treated to President Brandon for four years. It seems obvious to me. hmmm, which fallacy is this? anyone want to answer? the answers to my initial questions are that there is no truth and logic doesn't matter on ppp. yes. and logic? It's humans attempt to find truth and therefore, God.

my conclusion was that I didn't believe it. my opinion. i didn't say it was so. I was wrong but used no fallacy to support my conclusion. the premises were sound. I should have realized that discussing a concept would be above you. I'm sure there are some on the board for which that isn't true.

This is not about one particular issue. It's about absolutes. Are there any? Does logic exist? Does truth exist? Is it important? We all use logical fallacies in our arguments, some more than others. But would it be preferable to avoid them or not purposefully use them at all? I think there are absolutes and that logic exists and is vital towards the search for truth which we all should want. https://academicinfluence.com/inflection/study-guides/logical-fallacies#tu-quoque A common fallacy deployed here lately has been "everyone does it so it's ok for he/me to do it". I think this is a variation on #7 in the above link. Ad hominems, appeals to authority, straw men and non sequiturs are in abundance here as well, from both sides.. Would it make for better debate if we tried to avoid these? Or is that unrealistic or simply wrong?

thanks for letting everyone know that tylenol can be overdosed. As your videos illustrate, medical professionals are well aware. Tylenol ODs are a common method for suicide attempts. We have effective treatment and most survive. This is completely irrelevant to autism. Frightening if you didn't realize that

find another doctor. splain...

I'm beginning to see this as a pretty decent win. ABC relented to the court of public opinion.

We're all well aware that getting caught lying doesn't faze you.

nope. that was magas https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/video-shows-sunken-boats-after-lake-travis-trump-parade/269-2f58743d-4f25-4865-8a2b-f510cff61dcc

the world hungers for your science NC. Go forth and produce!

he saved lives with that statement. This statement may well cost them. I can't recall the setting for biden's comment. were medical experts around to field questions?

We love where we live right now. Never found a place we would like to live in more including Portugal which is fantastic. That outweighs the current downsides. But that could change.

the point is call it out when you see it. stop accepting it as "trump being trump". huge cop out. Seems it's quite stable. They're welcoming many talented Americans. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexledsom/2025/08/13/portugal-golden-visa-americans-benefit-from-key-court-ruling-in-2025/

let's assume it is on both sides (it certainly isn't equa)ly. Is that ok with you?

He is being irresponsible and acting as a voice of authority. That ok with you?

So cutting Science grants will help how?

i thought he moved on to paid maga shill. I'm thinking Eric for sure. He musta been one flk (funny looking kid).

He won't care about being called out. He's shameless, just like his hero. so why aren't you at work doing science? The world needs you😂

you defend trump almost every post and disseminate his propaganda. just love the superman cartoons. keep it up minion.

Where the smart money is right now https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tylenol-maker-kenvue-shares-bounce-080043547.html

That perception is exactly why trump unleashed the FCC on them. Doesn't change the fact that he's attacking freedom of speech.

Conflict of interests? Ethical dilemma? Of course. great summation of events here https://www.thetimes.com/article/aa7fff5a-d267-440f-a544-a3cd75c33416 Judge Cote said all five of the experts who testified in the unsuccessful lawsuit against Kenvue “have not served to enlighten but to obfuscate the weakness of the evidence on which they purport to rely and the contradictions in the research.” Baccarelli’s finding that there is an association between acetaminophen and autism has also been criticised by members of the scientific community. Professor David Mandell, associate director for the Centre for Autism Research at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, said Baccarelli’s methodology did not provide a “rigorous review of evidence”. He added that one of the studies examined by Baccarelli’s paper explored the autism-acetaminophen link without providing any measure of autism symptoms. “The statements in the discussion suggesting that the link is strong, rather than somewhat equivocal, combined with the unorthodox methods, raise serious concerns about bias,” he told The Times.

right on cue - a cartoon.

for now...
